State Senator Suzanne Williams (D-Aurora) has come to senses.  She pulled her Indian mascot bill.  SB 107 was a silly attempt to force public high schools and charter schools to get permission to use any kind of an Indian mascot or pay a fine.  Even those sympathetic to her politics criticized her for trying to legislate political correctness especially when the state faces more pressing issues.

Looks like the Eaton Fightin’ Reds mascot is safe — at least until my University Bulldogs beat the Fightin’ Reds in baseball this spring.
